I thought this was really neat and I really want to try it, but I dont have the supplies, money, or time.

In this instructable, I will show you how to make a cheap infrared (IR) filter for your digital camera out of bits and pieces such as cardboard rolls, electrical tape, and some black processed photographic film (old negatives).
The idea for this project came while researching IR light. When I discovered unexposed processed film made an effective IR filter, I literally had to put my house upside down to fish out some old negatives. Sadly, I also destroyed the zoom motor on my trusty Canon A60 by making a case that was too tight. You will see I have included several warnings here to prevent you from making the same mistake! I am now the proud (and poorer) owner of a brilliant Canon A710...
The video underneath details the building process. It also shows you in detail how to test your camera for IR capability; it suggests some of the settings you should use; and it features some IR photographs. It is recommended you watch it if you are going to make this instructable.
I also have provided written and photographic instructions on how to make the filter. Finally, you will find some IR pictures at the bottom of this page. Enjoy!
